This title is one of the better Abbeville 'Recollectable' series. Designed like a school book, the cover is a slate, the title spread a desk with the name carved in it, the credits and contents spread are printed on an open ring-binder, with a Bazooka gum wrapper included near the bottom of the page. The rest of the nicely designed pages are a mixture of collage and still-life photograpy. The authors have dug up hundreds of items from the past (mostly thirties to sixties) starting with very early Primers and going through the school grades and activities to the all-important Prom Night. Oh and don't forget the spread of film posters featuring 'Blackboard Jungle', 'Junior Prom', 'Campus Honeymoon' etc. If you were in school any time from 1930 onwards this excellent book will be pure nostalgia. Now you can put Mary Ann's pigtail in the inkwell! ***FOR AN INSIDE LOOK click 'customer images' under the cover.
